    Question

    C is 37.5% more efficient than A, and A is 60% more

    efficient than B. If A, B, and C together can complete a task in 40 days, how long will it take A alone to complete 75% of the task?
    A 100 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 60 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 90 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 120 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let efficiency of β€˜B’ β€˜5x’ units per day

    Efficiency of β€˜A’ = 1.60 Γ— 5x = 8x units per day

    Efficiency of β€˜C’ = 1.375 Γ— 8x = 11x units per day

    Total work = (3x + 8x + 11x) Γ— 40 = 960x units

    Desired time = (0.75 Γ— 960x)/8x = 90 days
